Stoke Match Thread. Saturday 16/01 Away 12:45pm Kick Off

[Red Phoenix]

Off to pub, seeyou on the other side. Don't let our team walk alone, and believe in them.

[Johnni]

And slap it across Pulis's face if we score? I hope so.

 

I reckon hes got a big slong as he looks a bit like Ron Jeremy, brother?

If we win today i hope Rafa does something to celebrate it cos he can be a boring git and i bet he just wants to jump up & down when we win a crucial game.

[Brownie]

I think it could be a 3-5-2 as well but the actual starting line up is horrible.

 

I think we'll win though, bizarrely.

[Guest davelfc]

Great photoshop for Maxi on sky team line up

[rage]

why the fuck isn't aquilani starting?

[Red-Ed]

I mean Salif Diao is playing for them!

 

We've got options on the bench for once. In fact our becnh looks betters than our starting team!

[Antynwa]

Diao is going to bum Lucas

That's not really difficult.

[Steve Holt]

It says a lot when Thommo is asked to predict the score of Stoke v Liverpool and he says "Draw".

[The Midnight Rambler]

Please, please let it be 3-5-2

[Guest davelfc]

True but maybe its another reason all together. Having someone come on around the 60th mark will have more of an impact on the game than somone you will come on around the 50th minute. Cluthcing at straws here but a double sub at 60 can change the whole look on that team e.g Patches and Maxi.

 

But every single game, every game? Games where it's pretty damned obvious a player is having a mare. Like I said, other teams have at last 60 minutes to take advantage of any vulnerability.

[Glass Kop]

Quick rant about Sopcast, why is the channel named Liverpool fc V X ALWAYS a replay of Barca V Real?

[Brownie]

So are we gonna name and shame on all tag requests now, or just the ones we don't like?

 

Depends if somebody asks. Ted wanted to know who it was and asked me to check seeing as i'm a moderator. So I checked.

 

If anyone else wants to know any then feel free to ask.

[sir roger]

Not confident at all , but I think we are over-estimating Stoke. They have scored 18 goals in 20 games , so this throw-in/free kick threat is massively overrated.

 

They actually have 4 centre backs in the back 4 rather than us , after all the moaning about a mythical team last night.

 

Assuming it is a 442 , I think Degen could be a key today as Huth is glacially slow at right-back.

[TommyW]

holy fuck, what a shocking first 11, 8 defenders

 

come on redmen!

[Xherdan]

Im nervous about this one. Its hard to say what way it is going to go, but one thing for sure is that we MUST see an improvement in attitude from that starting 11 today.

[Brownie]

4-4-2.

[Guest davelfc]

Let's twat these no mark cunts.

[loadsoftrophies]

Dreading this, they need to reach down inside themselves and find those guts that are required.

[rage]

442 it is then with 6 defenders on the pitch. that's asking for trouble

[Xherdan]

The Stoke fans and Stoke players are well up for this. They know we are there for the taking today.

[Red Banjo]

I find it hilarious/ridiculous seeing a centre back at right back, a right back at right mid, and a right mid on the bench.

 

If a decision alone merited the bullit, that is it.

[Cardie]

Rafa is going to have to pull it out today.

 

No, the players do, they're the ones chasing the little round thing around the big green rectangle.

[melons]

*groan* can someone PM me a stream? I keep getting failed to connect. Ironic really.

Could be a blessing in disguise.
